Creating Chocolatey packages

This method utilises the free utility NuGet Package Explorer to wrap existing software packages for bootstrapping with Cloud provisioning. These examples use a custom launcher (available on this site) to standatdise install and uninstall interfaces for software packages. Once packaged, the Chocolatey installers can be installed from a NuGet server using standard PowerShell cmdlines

Package Metadata

Starting with a new package – first customise the package metadata (notepad symbol on the left).

Make sure the tag "admin" is included with the package metadata.
